Protests erupt in Nepal - May 3, 2009 - Thousands of demonstrators filled Katmandu's streets Sunday, some to support the Maoist government and others to protest. Maoist supporters, waving red flags, called the army chief's sacking a "victory for people's rule" while the opposition blocked traffic and burned tires in protest.

“The Maoist government of Nepal has collapsed after a failed attempt to remove the country’s right-wing army chief”

the only “conservative” newspaper in UK here, bemoaning this “right-winger”

The Himalayan country is emerging from a 10 year civil war which ended with a ceasefire in 2006. Last year the former Maoist rebels won national elections and formed a coalition government. But the peace process is now stuck on the issue that sparked the latest crisis – the integration of former Maoist fighters into the traditionally conservative national army.

Silly -- get the list of the Maoists to be integrated into the army, then go after them in the night, and kill every last one of the bastards. Problem solved.
